A love letter to Reylo fanfictions writers and to the Reylo fandom in general

Dear Reylos,

I have never read fanfiction before “The Force Awakens”. I have always been passionate and I belong to many fandoms, but I wasn’t really interested by fanfiction. Not that I had preconceptions. Besides, I love reading. It is just that I didn’t considered it before… Reylo.

Yes! Like many fans of the ship, I got out of the theater, after watching TFA for the first time, certain that Rey and Kylo Ren were going to end up together. But as soon as I started sharing my impressions with my friends and family, it turned out that I was the only one who considered the possibility of a romance between the two characters.

“Well! I guess I read too much manga!” I thought.

Then, I went on Tumblr. And a new world opened to me. Not only did I discover that there were so many people who shared my view, but also that there were fabulous, wonderful creations celebrating the ship. It took me this long (I am snapping my fingers here) to dive into the realm of Reylo fanfictions.

It is such a beautiful thing when fiction can inspire such talented people to create and share their own work. And the relationship between Rey and Kylo Ren is so fascinating, so full of potential! Some of the stories created by the writers I have read are so beautiful, so well-written that I can’t get them out of my head.

Reading your creations is a delight, so I want to say to each of you: “thank you”!

You have written (and hopefully continue creating) such fantastic fanfiction! You have the talent of true writers. I appreciate the work and thought you put in writing these stories. Knowing that you give so much effort against so little in return (apart from the comments left by some of your readers…which are quite the reward on their own) feels me with gratitude.

And thank you to every fanfiction writer (whose stories I haven’t discovered yet), every illustrator, meta writer, graphic designer and to all those who share their creations of Tumblr and around the internet.

This Reylo fandom is full of creative and talented people. It feels to me like a huge group of friends who share a common love for Star Wars and that particular ship that seems so controversial but still is a source of such beautiful creativity.

Whatever if Reylo becomes canon one day. I don’t think it is the issue. The important thing is that it has motivated so many of us to be creative and to bring us together, somehow, even if we are from different parts of world.

Please, don’t let some mean comments, or the lack of receptivity demotivate you. You will always have someone who will appreciate your work.

Kind regards,

Last Mouse Left

*Sorry! I couldn’t find your tumblr profiles! I hope you will get to read this still.

Thank you for such lovely and thoughtful words. I’m grinning.

Thank you so much dear! 😀

What a lovely thing for a reader to say to other creators! I hope you all see it!

“Sir, can you please take off the shades and stand up straight?” 😒👮🏻

“Why didn’t you remove them in the first place Gene?!” 😠

“He said he was blind, it would have been rude, Earl!“🙄👮🏻

“Ma’am, quit posing for the camera, this is a police station. Face forward. Jesus Gene, did you forget to take off her shoes as well?” 😤👮🏽

“I hate the night shift, we always get stuck with the weirdos.” 😑👮🏻

A scenario in which Rey and Ren get pulled over for drunk driving after partying too hard and end up in a police station with two wacky officers.

I love this so damn much. 

I’ve always wanted those two pics maniped together.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens Storybook” (pub. April 2016)

This is old news but I wanted to properly gather these screenshots from the book. Some highlights:

  • Rey barely remembered her family or anything from before her life scrounging for food and shelter.
  • Then she heard a voice, both familiar and strange. “I’ll come back, sweetheart. I promise.”
  • “I will finish what you started,“ he promised. “I will find him and, in your name, kill him.”
  • “Rey is where she needs to be,” Maz assured [Finn].
  • “She focused on the connection between them.”

  • “Suddenly, Rey was flooded with images and emotions from Kylo’s mind. She sensed anger and pain but most of all fear.”

  • Kylo stared at Rey in disbelief. “It is you,” he breathed.
  • “I don’t want to kill you,” Kylo said, dodging a swipe from Rey’s saber.

My One and Only, or why Force Bonds are so important: The similarities between Revan/Kylo and Bastila/Rey (and why this comparison was intentional)

ohtze:

So when I went to the theater and saw The Force Awakens for the first time, I was excited, but not too
much. I was expecting lightsabers, desert planets and unrealistic space
battles, but beyond that my expectations were tempered. My mindset was
basically “so long as it’s not as bad as The Prequels, I’ll consider it a success,”
and TFA definitely was. But – and
this is a big but – it was more than that, too. The longer I watched the movie
– the longer I watched Kylo and Rey interact – the more excited I became. I
could barely sit still. All I could think was oh my god. Oh my god, they’re Bastila and Revan. They’re the same.
There’s so many similarities between the two there’s no way this echoing was not intentional.

What follows is an essay-length, in-depth, somewhat
disjointed comparison between the two, as I try to order my thoughts. It’s
actually a continuation of this thread. Major, major spoilers after the jump, for KotOR and TFA and the Expanded Universe (seriously, don’t click past the jump if you
want to keep one or the other a surprise – I basically spoil everything). I’ll
be focusing primarily on KotOR I, because that’s the equivalent of where Kylo
and Rey are in terms of character development, but there will be a bit of KotOR
II in this as well.

Keep reading

thank you. 
kinda floored by the amount of work put into this. 
much appreciated.
